In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined, but do not overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow bowl or dish. Lightly dredge each patty in the flour, shaking off any excess, and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the hamburger steaks in a single layer. Cook for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside on a plate, tenting with foil to keep warm.
Carefully drain most of the oil from the skillet, leaving about 2 tablespoons along with any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low and add the butter, allowing it to melt.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the reserved dredging flour into the skillet and whisk to combine. Cook the flour mixture for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw taste, stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, then add the Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to thicken slightly, about 3–4 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and continue to simmer for another 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy reaches your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, spooning the gravy over the tops. Allow them to simmer in the gravy for 2–3 minutes to warm through.
Serve the country fried hamburger steaks hot, smothered in gravy, alongside mashed potatoes or your choice of sides. Enjoy!
